Independence day with solar

With the cost of living crisis squeezing household finances, people are looking for energy solutions, and Custom Heat has seen a run on enquiries into its solar packages. Here, Lincoln Smith explains how the company is helping customers achieve independence with free energy from the sun.

As the cost of living crisis continues to impact households across the nation, we here at Custom Heat have seen a sharp rise in the number of people installing solar hybrid generators for their homes. With enquiries up by 400% in the past year, it’s clear that householders are looking for ways to make their homes more sustainable - and cut their exposure to spiraling energy prices.

I have nicknamed the system ‘HyGridders’, as people are using a hybrid of solar power generation for most of their energy needs, but linking back ‘onto the grid’ when they need to. In short, it is empowering homeowners to take control of their energy costs.

With the huge rise in enquiries and sales of these systems, it seems as though once one household has it on a street, many of their neighbours follow suit. With the rising prices of electricity and the need for sustainable alternatives, we are using our expertise in energy solutions to help homeowners mitigate the financial strain and reduce their carbon footprint through innovative solutions.

HyGridders explained

Our solar hybrid generators are designed to harness the power of the sun, offering a clean, renewable, and cost-effective source of energy for homes. By combining solar energy with efficient battery storage systems and intelligent energy management solutions, these generators enable homeowners to produce and store their electricity. This means reduced reliance on the national grid and the ability to avoid peak energy prices, resulting in substantial savings on energy bills.

Solar hybrid generators provide a practical and sustainable solution for reducing energy costs and achieving greater energy independence. But in addition to cost savings, they offer environmental benefits by promoting clean energy generation. By choosing this eco-friendly solution, homeowners contribute to a greener future and help combat climate change.
